From the disability side....I worked with a guy in the 1990s who had a brother who claimed disability. My co-worker was absolute in opinion that the injury was bogus. The guy was only pulling around $850 a month so it was hard for me to envision going this direction...for such a limited amount of money...and thinking you could really live off this.

You can't really. BTW the $600 and $800 dollar figures I mentioned? The $613 is my wifes. She is an incomplete quadriplegic and has been 25 years. The $830 or so I draw for mine which happened 16 years ago. It wasn't one single thing that put me there but a sum total some of which were life long problems that got worse.

I worked in a Rehab and used to drive the druggies and alcy’s to their SSI appointments. It used to make me sick to see what was going on.

What is a incomeplete Quadriplegic? I never heard of that. In another post, you said that you are a care giver, for your wife. You think that justifies you getting paid by the government to take care of a family member? Another sister-in-law was just diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer; my wife and I are her caregivers; we work full time jobs and support her.
